Psalm 20

Psalm 20

Deliverance in Battle

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

¹May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble; ^t

may the name of Jacob’s God protect you. ^u

²May He send you help from the sanctuary

and sustain you from Zion. ^v

³May He remember all your offerings

and accept your burnt offering. ^wSelah

⁴May He give you what your heart desires ^x

and fulfill your whole purpose. ^y

⁵Let us shout for joy at your victory ^z

and lift the banner in the name of our God. ^a

May Yahweh fulfill all your requests. ^b

⁶Now I know that the Lord gives victory to His anointed; ^c

He will answer him from His holy heaven

with mighty victories from ^dHis right hand. ^e

⁷Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,

but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God. ^f

⁸They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand firm. ^g

⁹Lord, give victory to the king! ^h

May He ⁱanswer us on the day that we call.
